An integrated approach provides a more effective means of balancing land use requirements and sound natural resource management.  Ecosystem management as a basis for planning takes the long-term view of human activities and biological resources into account, integrating ecological, economic, and social factors. The ultimate goal of ecosystem management is to preserve and enhance ecosystem integrity, and to sustain biological diversity and ensure the continued availability of natural resources.  AH provides support and consultation for complying with resource protection laws and for the integrated management, planning, conservation, and enhancement of natural systems.
